So it is official... I have the best WISE mentor! This project is going well so far, the dance is starting to be choreographed I have an amazing costume, but by far the best part so far is Mrs. Augustine. I knew she was going to be a good mentor because she was a dancer, she has seen me since almost the first day after surgery, and she is always happy and smiling, but I was not ready for the level of dedication and support she has already given in just two meetings. She is on the exact same page as me when it comes to where the project should be heading and has been nothing less than excited about every part of the journey so far. She has already given me so many ideas (which I will share once I think them through a little more) and she makes me truly believe that I can and will accomplish all of my goals.
I was also in the studio again today. I did not add on anymore to the dance, but I did review what I already have over and over. So far I really like what I have and if everything continues going the way it does I think this dance is going to be amazing. It is hard to explain what it feels like to be dancing again. One one hand I am completely terrified and extremely cautious about another injury, but on the other hand I feel like I cannot stop smiling the entire time I am there. I still can't do much of anything on my right side, but even being able to do an eighth of what I could do before is the best feeling ever!
This is a video that I found while I was spending hours on YouTube. I love this song and the dancer is incredibly talented, but she goes far beyond that in her dancing. She puts all of her emotions and everything she has into the dance. I also like that she does not try to put in every move she has ever learned. She highlights her strengths while following the story of the song, something that I hope to accomplish in my own solo. Fix You Contemporary Dance
